As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. <BR>>>No one<BR>>>knows why.<BR>>><BR>>>Rule #2:<BR>>><BR>>>If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the<BR>>>word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words.<BR>>>"Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. "By-the-way, are<BR>>>you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows<BR>>>why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #3:<BR>>><BR>>>If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A<BR>>>99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer or something to
<BR>>>hang from<BR>>>his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows <BR>>>why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #4:<BR>>><BR>>>Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men <BR>>>bathrobes.<BR>>>I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he<BR>>>wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #5:<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have<BR>>>worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV<BR>>>with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he<BR>>>flips, and flips, and flips.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #6:<BR>>><BR>>>Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs, except Godiva. If <BR>>>you do, it will<BR>>>sit in
a cupboard for 23 years.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #7:<BR>>><BR>>>Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave or<BR>>>deodorant. I'm told they do not stink - they are earthy.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #8:<BR>>><BR>>>Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a<BR>>>couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. Socks. <BR>>>Shorts.<BR>>>Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink. You get the idea. No one knows<BR>>>why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #9:<BR>>><BR>>>Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on<BR>>>the box. It will ruin his day and he will always have parts left <BR>>> over.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #10:<BR>>><BR>>>Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works,
Parr<BR>>>Lumber, Home Depot, Lowes, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les <BR>>>Schwab<BR>>>Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance Centers are also <BR>>>excellent men's<BR>>>stores.)

Thanks.")<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #11:<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will <BR>>>barbecue.<BR>>>Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell<BR>>>him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants<BR>>>a hamburger?"<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #12:<BR>>><BR>>>Tickets to a football, hockey or basketball game are a smart
gift.<BR>>>However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of<BR>>>19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #13:<BR>>><BR>>>Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a Chainsaw.<BR>>>If you don't know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens<BR>>>when he gets a label maker.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #14:<BR>>><BR>>>It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum<BR>>>extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be<BR>>>an extension ladder. No one knows why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Rule #15:<BR>>><BR>>>Rope. Men love rope.

why.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Julie/Gwen/Mom<BR>>>Loch Ruadh Rocks!!<BR>><BR>>_______________________________________________<BR>>Loch-Ruadh mailing list<BR>>Loch-Ruadh@ansteorra.org<BR>>http://www.ansteorra.org/mailman/listinfo/loch-ruadh<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html>
